Cloud.gov Support Services 2

Pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 8.405-6, TTS is seeking approval for a logical follow-on, requiring a Limited Sources Justification. The task order for cloud.gov Support Services provides operations and maintenance for cloud.gov. The services provided are: ● Operate, maintain, monitor, and update a Cloud Foundry deployment and the supporting services underlying cloud.gov. ● Provide consultation for the cloud.gov team to support adoption of Cloud Foundry best practices and solutions to provide new capabilities. ● Automate operation processes and increase the resilience of the system. ● Maintain Secure Configuration Management practices and assist the security team in developing threat assessment and incident response processes at the organizational and system level. ● Provide similar engineering support services to other offices within the TTS organization. This justification is for a logical follow-on task order to continue the “cloud.gov Support Services” effort with TechFlow, Inc. as the contractor in the interest of economy and efficiency. This requirement was originally competed on February 06, 2019 among Federal Supply Schedule 70, SIN 132 51 Information Technology Professional Services & SIN 132 40 Cloud Computing Services contract holders. GSA has since updated the SIN structure. The current category for Information Technology Professional Services is now 5415S1, and the current category for Cloud Computing Services is now 518210C. The name for Federal Supply Schedule 70 has also been changed to the Information Technology Category. Under the proposed logical follow-on, the Government will issue a new single award task order to TechFlow, Inc.; therefore allowing TechFlow to continue providing services to TTS. The period of performance will be a 12-month base period, plus two 12-month option periods. The period of performance is expected to begin on December 5, 2022, following the expiration of the current contract, which ends on December 4, 2022. It is proposed that using a logical follow-on Justification will enable TTS to achieve its ongoing objectives without disruption. This effort is necessary to maintain support for TTS. Re-competing this effort among Federal Supply Schedule contractors would not provide material cost savings and would introduce significant schedule and performance risk.
